Who's building the new China? It's not the factory owners or the business men and women of China. It's someone else. We see them every day, They work day and night in the terrible working conditions and weather. They build the roads, the theaters, the cinemas and the supermarkets. They even clean up our rubbish. They are China’s migrant workers(民工).
More than 140 million workers have left their homes in the countryside to look for jobs in big cities all over China. They hope to be rich, but they realize they have many difficulties in making enough money. And one of the difficulties that these workers have is the pride and discrimination (歧视) from the people in cities. When night falls, everywhere I look I see the sad faces of the migrant workers. Many are living far away from those whom they love. Yes，they dress differently, they speak differently, and they have different habits, but they work hard .The people in cities regard them as outsiders, and most governments refuse to give them medical care and public schooling for their children. If China hopes to move into the future, many things need to change. The first is discrimination! We need to stop our discrimination against the migrant workers of China! They may not make as much money as some people in cities, but they are good honest people just trying to survive this game of life. These workers are very important and necessary to China’s economic (经济) development and have become an important force for the change of Chinese society. They are building the new China, so we should help them.The journalist think __________ is building the new China.

They yearbook also has photos and descriptions of extracurricular activities．These are activities that students do after school，such as the chess club and Spanish club．There is even a yearbook club．Students in this club write，design and take photos all year for the yearbook．
In the yearbook，some students receive special titles，The seniors vote and choose the"class clown"（a funny student ），the"most likely to succeed"（a student who got the best grades ），and the"best dressed"（a student with a good fashion sense ）．There are also other awards．
Students usually sign each other's yearbooks，This is especially important for the seniors because they are graduating．Students write notes to each other，such as，"We had a lot of fun，"or because they are graduating．Students write notes to each other，such as，"We had a lot of fun，"or"I'll never forget you．"They also write about the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together．

All living things need energy to live and grow．This energy comes first from the sun．Plants use water and sunlight to make their own food．Animals can not make their own food，and they eat plants．Other animals then eat the plant eaters．
A food chain shows what eats what．It might show that zebras eat grass and then lions eat zabras．
Lions also eat other animals．Zebras eat other kinds of plants．So it takes more than one food chain to show how lions and zebras get their energy．
A food web shows how food chains work together．From it we can see how energy moves from plants to animals．
Plants and animals that live in hot，dry deserts depend on water as well as food．Creosote bushes have small leaves that hold water．Their seeds provide food and water for kangaroo rats．Kangaroo rats don't need to drink water．They get all the water they need from the plants they eat．Kangaroo rats keep cool by coming out only at night to look for food．Ringtail cats also come out only at night．Ringtail cats hunt and eat kangaroo rats．Coyotes eat both the kangaroo rats and the ringtail cats．
Nothing is wasted in a food web，Vultures eat dead animals．Vultures are scavengers．Scavengers do not hunt and kill other animals to get food．They eat animals that are already dead．When a ringtail cat or a coyote dies，it makes a meal for the vultures．Scavengers do an important job in keeping the environment clean．
31．Where does the energy that living things need first come from？
